Writing is that activity that makes me feel alive in a context that would like for me to be dead. So writing for me is always a form of dissent, voting with my feet, so to speak. I would prefer to sit and write to doing what I had every opportunity to do: make money.

“…not only the worst of the young are sent to prison, but the best — that is, the proudest, the bravest, the most daring, the most enterprising, and the most undefeated of the poor… those who are drawn to crime as a positive experience — because it is more exciting, more meaningful, more mysterious, more transcendental, more religious than any other experience they have known.”
Norman Mailer
